Introduction On March 11, 2011 the strongest recorded in Japan earthquake off the Pacific coast of North-east of the country occurred (also know as Great East Japan Earthquake, 2011 Tohoku earthquake, and the 3.11 Earthquake) which triggered a powerful tsunami and caused a nuclear accident in one of the world’s largest nuclear plant (Fukushima Daichi Nuclear Plant Station). It was the first disaster that included an earthquake, a tsunami, and a nuclear power plant accident. The 2011 disasters have had immense impacts on people life, health and property, social infrastructure and economy, natural and institutional environment, etc. in North-eastern Japan and beyond [Abe, 2014; Al-Badri and Berends, 2013; Biodiversity Center of Japan, 2013; Britannica, 2014; Buesseler, 2014; FNAIC, 2013; Fujita et al., 2012; IAEA, 2011; IBRD, 2012; Kontar et al., 2014; NIRA, 2013; TEPCO, 2012; UNEP, 2012; Vervaeck and Daniell, 2012; Umeda, 2013; WHO, 2013; WWF, 2013]. We have done an assessment of major social, economic and environmental impacts of the triple disaster in another publication [Bachev, 2014]. There have been numerous publications on diverse impacts of the 2011 disasters including on the Japanese agriculture and food sector [Bachev and Ito, 2013; JA-ZENCHU, 2011; Johnson, 2011; Hamada and Ogino, 2012; MAFF, 2012; Koyama, 2013; Sekizawa, 2013; Pushpalal et al., 2013; Liou et al., 2012; Murayama, 2012; MHLW, 2013; Nakanishi and Tanoi, 2013; Oka, 2012; Ujiie, 2012; Yasunaria et al., 2011; Watanabe A., 2011; Watanabe N., 2013].

Introduction On March 11, 2011 at 14:46 JST the Great East Japan Earthquake occurred with the epicenter around 70 kilometers east of Tōhoku. It was the most powerful recorded earthquake ever hit Japan with a magnitude of 9.03 Mw. The earthquake triggered powerful tsunami that reached heights of up to 40 meters in Miyako, Iwate prefecture and travelled up to 10 km inland in Sendai area. The earthquake and tsunami caused many casualties and immense damages in North-eastern Japan. According to some estimates that is the costliest natural disaster in the world history [Kim]. Official figure of damages to agriculture, forestry and fisheries alone in 20 prefectures amounts to 2,384.1 billion yen [MAFF]. The earthquake and tsunami caused a nuclear accident3 in one of the world’s biggest nuclear power stations - the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant, Okuma and Futaba, Fukushima prefecture. After cooling system failure three reactors suffered large explosions and level 7 meltdowns leading to releases of huge radioactivity into environment [TEPCO]. Radioactive contamination has spread though air, rains, dust, water circulations, wildlife, garbage disposals, transportation, and affected soils, waters, plants, animals, infrastructure, supply and food chains in immense areas.

    Fukushima Prefecture Fact Sheet

    FUKUSHIMA PREFECTURE FACT SHEET Fukushima Prefecture, an agricultural region on Japan’s coastline, suffered massive losses in the earthquake and tsunami that struck Japan in March of 2011. The disaster caused catastrophic damage to the nuclear power plant located in Fukushima and eventually forced anyone living within 20 km to evacuate their homes. While no longer in the international headlines, the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear crisis continues today and humanitarian needs in Fukushima persist, with many residents still unable to return to their homes more than six months after the disaster. Background Fukushima is the third largest prefecture in Japan, spanning approximately 13,800 km and is located roughly 200 km north of Tokyo. Before the tsunami/earthquake disaster, Fukushima was home to approximately two million people, many of whom lived in the capital, Fukushima City. Based on its diverse climate, ranging from snowy mountains and lush forests, to 159 km of Pacific coastline, Fukushima was a highly productive food source for Japan. Prior to the SENDAI disaster, its Nakadori region was the fourth largest agricultural region in Japan, yielding rice, peaches, apples, pears, tomatoes, and cucumbers. Livestock was also a major export, as well as tobacco and raw silk. Fukushima was also one of the highest yielding TOKYO fishing areas in the country. The Earthquake-Tsunami Disaster Although the epicenter of the earthquake was located off the coast of Miyagi Prefecture to the north, Fukushima was still greatly affected by the earthquake’s force, with parts of Hama-dori region experiencing more than 6.0 magnitude and Fukushima City, in Naka-dori region, measuring more than 5.0.
